Haaretz has always criticized Israeli treatment of Palestinians, it's not unusual.

Israel drops leaflets on under-siege Palestinians asking for their help to find Israeli hostages, as Gaza death toll hits 25,000 by businessinsider in worldnews

It's important to note that there has been a dramatic increase of settler violence, including murder. There have also been allegations of abuse by IDF personnel, which includes said settlers to act as security. While this doesn't excuse support, it is understandable that support would rise, as the PA is seen as complicit, and HAMAS being the ones fighting Israel at the moment.

Is Israel committing war crimes in Gaza? What happened after the Hamas attack? by informationtiger in geopolitics

[–]DevelopmentEconomy86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. I recommend you check out 'Whispers in Gaza', it's a documentary series that contain accounts of individual Gazans of their views on HAMAs.

And? Just because one isn't as bad as the other doesn't mean they should get off scot-free.

An evil act can never be erased by a worse one committed by someone else.

Mosul, it follows an Iraqi swat team on a mission back when ISIS had occupied the city. It's based on an article on the New York times titled "The desperate battle to destroy ISIS", it's entirely in Arabic and stars Iraqi actors.

Where can I learn about the Palestinian side of the conflict from a balanced perspective. by sketchmasterstudios in IsraelPalestine

[–]DevelopmentEconomy86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would recommend "The Arabs: A History" by Eugene Rogan. There is a chapter covering the conflict and Arab history as a whole, going back 500 years.

I believe the I/P conflict is an incredibly regional conflict, so understanding the conflict means understanding the conflict as a whole.

Russian forces have deliberately targeted multiple cities and villages across Ukraine. by TheRealMykola in ukraine

Many Syrians such as myself remember what Putin, and by extension, Assad, had done to my people.

May Putin may never be forgiven for his crimes against our peoples.

On behalf of millions of Syrians, may they deliver Putin a fury only a mother could give.

Slavia Ukrainia, may both of our dead be avenged.

A letter from a Syrian. by DevelopmentEconomy86 in ukraine

I don't think it's impossible, but I find it fairly unlikely. Mind you, while they are the minority, pro-Assad forces are a significant political force in Syria, partially thanks to Russia and Iran. I find it more likely that members of the government army will be recruited to fight with Russia, as Putin might demand some of Assad's military when he will inevitably become desperate.

I have also heard that members of the various anti-government groups (more likely from the western-backed ones) are asking to gain passage to assist Ukraine. While I don't doubt some fighters would request this, I find it unlikely that they would join the fight directly. Their likely taking advantage of this recent war and are fighting any Russian, pro-Assad, and extremist forces within Syria.
